Fokker Dreidecker DR1.

Dreidecker is the german word for triplane. This plane was extremely maneuverable and agile in the air. Richthofen called it 'machine gubs on wings'. A feared adversary in the 'air to air' combat
in the first World War.

It was introduced in July 1917 and in early 1918 it was already 'obsolete' compared to more powerfull and agile aircraft like the Fokker D VII.

Spar

The spar really is the 'back bone' and gives the strength to the wing. One solid spar for each wing. That makes it a total of three spars.

Different stages.

One spar completed.

Three spars completed which took me 9 months to complete.

They are positioned on top of each other, the top one for the upper wing is longer.
